The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has granted E.L. Foust Co., a small business, an exemption from the Tier 1 energy conservation standards for air cleaners until December 30, 2025.

The Department of Justice agreed that not granting the exemption could reduce competition, as E.L. Foust Co. could lose a major sales channel.
